    Abstract: A mold assembly for manufacturing a trim component of an automotive vehicle. The mold assembly comprises a first mold half having a contoured first mold surface and an outer peripheral edge and a second mold half having a contoured second mold surface and an outer peripheral edge. The mold halves pivotal about a hinge between an open position providing access to the respective mold surface and a closed position with the outer peripheral edge of the first mold half aligned with an abutting the outer peripheral edge of the second mold surface. A cutting ridge is formed around the outer peripheral edge of the first mold half for engaging a bulbous projection formed around the outer peripheral edge of the second mold halves in the closed position whereby upon the injection of a urethane material onto the mold halves, the cutting ridge abuts against the projection and perforates any oversprayed material extending outside of the mold surfaces when the mold halves are moved to the closed position.
